I have heard about Origami Ramen for a while now and have been meaning to try to out but it kept slipping my mind. We went on a random weekday for lunch and were able to get seated right away. You just order through the ipad at the table. Super convenient because you can look through each item individually and assemble your cart. You do checkout and pay right away, which can be done through the ipad if paying by card/cashless. The food came out fairly quickly. I got the origami classic with pork belly. It also comes with vegetables and a soft boiled egg. Other than ramen, they also have a variety of appetizers, onigiri, udon, curry, donburi (rice bowl), and many drink options. I really enjoyed my ramen! The broth was really nice and the pork belly was delicious. I would love to come back! read more

3.5 stars Positives: self serve ordering through tablet at table very fast service friendly staff ability to customize preferences noodles were firm flavorful broth one of the best ramen spots negatives: expensive $73 for 2 bowls of ramen and shrimp appetizer comes with chashu chicken base (seemed like just boiled chicken) so have to pay extra for 2 thin pork belly $2 only 1/2 egg so needed to order more egg read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Roughly one mile from my office is this anime themed ramen location that I wish I knew about three years ago when I started working at the office![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Naturally, I'd find when I'm now remote. I stopped by the office then wanted a low key dinner with a coworker to catch up. Fellow Yelpers recommended this location, and I had in my bookmarks of places to try. Shout out to those Yelpers as we both loved it! What we ordered: - Edamame えだまめ - VEGAN SOY 醤油ラーメン - SPICY 鶏白湯スパイシー - Dr Pepperドクターペッパー - Diet Coke ダイエットコーラ Upon entering, we were immediately greeted and it was very easy to maneuver the tablet to place our order. The staff were friendly and promptly brought drinks and the appetizer of edamame. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I found myself scanning the room periodically to check out all the anime, and especially the beautiful light fixture with origami. Very cute location, and excellent ramen![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are in the area, check out this location! read more

Came here with my wife and son for his birthday. Ramen is always amazing, but the star is that pork katsu. And I think they raised the price on it a bit, to some I know "in this economy" but they made the portion way larger, it's still perfectly crispy, and still a favorite for us all. And the staff, as always for me means a lot, they are great. Extremely kind, always offered us something if needed. But not annoying. And the store itself I love how it looks with all the anime around, my family and I spend so much time looking through them all and wondering who this is and how many, and finding our fav characters. So the atmosphere is amazing for any anime fan. read more

Robbin was amazing. Pork belly was among the best I've ever had. I ordered extra noodles but didn't need them. There were so many.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Hole in the wall ramen bar covered in anime decor, is the perfect way to fully encapsulate Origami in 1 sentence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're an anime lover, then the interior filled to the brim with anime stickers and posters adds to the fun you'll have while waiting for your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise level is 3/10 if 10 means bustling and loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I want to make a very specific note about their pork used in certain bowls, this is the first time ever I've had pork on the sweeter side. It's interesting for the initial bites but I still prefer the straight savory pork chasu flavor 99% of ramen places serve. The broth was half thick but still goes down well, but I wouldn't say it reached the expectation of spicy was there when there's an emphasis in the title for its spiciness. My final verdict of Origami, if you're not wanting to go far from the bordering Chandler-Ahwatukee area, give this place a shot. read more

Went on a weekday night and didn't have to wait for a table. Digital menus are available via a QR code at the table, and you can order straight from your phone or through the tablet on the table. You pay before the food is brought out to you so you don't feel trapped waiting for the bill to come when you're done eating. I had the miso ramen which admittedly didn't have a strong miso flavor. To me, it was really garlicky (I believe fried garlic and minced garlic both come as toppers). However, it was still really flavorful and I enjoyed it. The pork belly (you have a choice of protein) were two generous pieces that looked bland, but were tender and tasty. I'd definitely come back again. read more

This place was so yum. I think the okonomiyaki was very authentic and had the right ratio of dough and vegetable. The katsu ramen was perfectly crisp. I was sad the curry had no veggies but the flavor was perfect. The ramen was also very tasty and the broth was excellent. I think the large karaage was a bit too much so next time would be ordering the smaller portion. They have an iPad to place your order, but it does incur a service fee when paying to place the order. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small but so cute. The decorations are so fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I walked in first and they are sit where you want style. A staff member is bring water and let you know you can walk up to order at the kiosk or scan your table QR code and order from the app. When my friends got here, we ordered from the app. I got the Strawberry green tea, fried chicken, and Cha Su Mein. The green tea was not as sweet as I would like it and I normally order 50% less sweet. The fried chicken was very good, super crispy and juice inside. The dipping sauce add a lot of flavor. Loved the display of the Cha Su Mein. It was very delicious as well. read more

Food was good! You have to order from an app and tip right then and there as you're placing your order.. I found that quite odd. Someone reason my phone wasn't loading. So I wasn't even able to use that platform. I had to go to the back to place the order with the server..she didn't mind. Overall the food was delish! Anima stickers EVERYWHERE! Super fun place to be at. I liked , it was small and busy. P.S LOOK at the photos of the food before you add additional toppings we clearly didn't. read more

Stopped in for a ramen lunch. Ate the Garlic Black Spicy, positives were there was a lot of garlic & the broth was flavorful. It's odd that the default meat is chicken, and you have to pay extra for substituting for pork. Most all ramen restaurants default to pork vs chicken. The Fried Gyoza was ok, the sauce with it was not flavorful so asked for chilli oil to add to it. read more

The food is SO good. Probably the best ramen spot in Phoenix. But customer service is non-existent.

Door Dashed the Spicy Miso Ramen and I am pleasantly surprised how good it was. I think the price is fair for the amount of food. There was a good amount of chicken and I love that it came with mushrooms, corn, seaweed, garlic and onion. It was a little spicier than I expected, if you don't love spice then this is not the right ramen for you, but WOW it was so good!! Their to-go packaging is also great. Absolutely will order from them again! read more

I initially wanted ramen for lunch, I just can't get enough of it. The menu is the QR code kind. I saw they have Japanese katsu curry, so I ordered that instead. They do not accept cash, card only. I also got edamame, because I wanted something light, but wanted room for the katsu curry. The edamame was really good, not over cooked and not undercooked. The Japanese katsu curry was very good! It reminded me of eating at "Coco's" in Japan. I didn't get to choose a spice level, but on a scale of 1-10, I'd say it was a 3. I have a hard time with spicy food, and this was just spicy enough to allow you to enjoy the flavor of the curry. They also provide you a pitcher of water for your table. If any of you have lived in Japan and miss the curry they have, this place hits the spot! I'm not sure if there was NAAN on the menu, but that would have been the cherry on top! The employees are very kind and very polite, they say hi when you get there and always try to say bye before you leave. Their cleanliness was top notch, they clean within a few minutes if someone leaving. I will be back again, and I will try their Ramen next time. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is super cute! I love all the anime decor, it's definitely a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself is rather small and the ordering process was a little confusing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our "server" wasn't overly helpful or friendly, which is fine because it was mostly counter service anyway. We started with the fire cracker dumplings. They are crispy and you get a good amount. The filling is pork, a generous amount, but nothing else stood out about it. I was hoping for more aromatics and/or vegetables in the dumplings, but they were fine. They are covered in eel sauce and spicy Mayo I believe. For ramen, I ordered the spicy bowl and my boyfriend tried the new garlic black spicy. Mine was incredibly creamy but I think, for my preference, lacked the spice element. I ordered it with pork and the chashu was pretty standard. I will say, I did not love the noodles in either bowl. I love a chewier noodle that's holds it's integrity but for me these weren't it. They were just dense in my opinion, but that doesn't mean they were bad. The egg is each bowl was a little disappointing. Not necessarily jammy how I prefer and lacked flavor in my opinion. The boyfriends bowl was quite aromatic and intense in flavor, we love that. The addition of minced garlic (looked like jar-lic) on top amused me. He had chicken and it was fine. Nice thick cut pieces but no real significant flavor. I believe we spent around 50$. I think that's pretty fair nowadays. Each bowl is roughly 15-17$ without the addition of extra toppings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm glad we tried it. I think the atmosphere of this place is its best quality. I personally probably wouldn't drive out of my way to go back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had been craving ramen for a few days, and origami ramen bar had some decent reviews so I decided to stop by. It was during dinner time on Friday, and it wasn't too busy so I was seated right away. Orders are taken via the QR code menu placed on the table. I got the spicy rich miso ramen. I added chicken breast and corn for extras. The chicken and pork broth were really flavorful, it wasn't spicy in my opinion. The noodles were the right texture, al dente. The mango cream soda was really good. The chicken breast was actually pretty tender. I liked the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. The definitely be back to try different food options. read more

Cold night in PHX meant Ramen for dinner! [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked in I immediately noticed the fun vibe. Walls are covered in anime, funky chandelier (I'm a sucker for a chandelier) and just overall cool aesthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were shown to a table that had an iPad for ordering. Our waitress brought a pitcher of water and didn't say a word. There is basically no service here, which is different but also not needed. You order everything from the iPad menu and they bring it out. We started with the Spam Fries and Crispy Japanese Chicken. Fried Spam came out in the can, which was super cute! I asked if they came with any kind of dipping sauce and was told no, but they could give us spicy mayo. We said that was fine and it was good but honestly they were good alone too. I thought the Crispy Chicken would be on the bone but it was small nugget pieces. It was just okay. Idk if order it again. I would have liked the chicken to be crisper. I ordered the Miso Ramen and added the fried garlic. SO DELISH. A bit salty but I'm down for that so it was fine with me. I just noticed I drank almost the whole pitcher of water on my own. The broth was super flavorful, egg was perfect and I was happy I ordered the garlic addition. I'd definitely go back to Origami Ramen! read more

Flavorful broth and ramen noodles with a great texture. Would go back again the next time I'm in town.

Are you having a rough day? Eat ramen. I cherish ramen and maybe like two people. After a day of holiday festivities with gingerbread house decorating and walking around looking at Christmas lights, a hot bowl of ramen sounded amazing. Having wanted to try this place for quite some time, we all headed over for some noodz. I ordered the Black Soy Ramen (鶏白湯しょうゆ), $18.25: House-made, ultra-rich, and creamy chicken and pork broth with curly noodles. Topped with juicy white meat chicken cha-shu, half a soft-boiled egg, and vegetables. It was yummy! It was a good comforting way to defrost from the chilly evening. The noodles held the broth well when slurping and that's the sign of a good bowl of noodz. Origami has now tied for first as my favorite ramen spot in the valley. You come in, scan the QR code, pay online, and just wait for your delicious eats to be brought out to you. This place is an otaku and weeaboos dream. Anime is constantly being played on TV and anime stickers make up most of the decor. I would definitely recommend you to stop in when you're craving some ramen. read more

Took a chance and ended up with by far one of the worst attempts at chicken katsu I've ever had. Don't be fooled that isn't chicken in the picture. it's just straight-up batter. Do not ever serve something like that to a customer again. Quite upset, especially after waiting 30+ minutes in a nearly empty restaurant and paying $60 for 2 rice bowls a coke and an appetizer. Do better. The server was nice and is not at fault for the poor quality of food. read more

I really didn't find anything special about this place. To me it's just like the rest of them with one exception, I find them to be a bit pricey. I personally don't like the idea of placing your order through a smart phone and paying that way also before even getting the food. Really what type of restaurants do you sit down and pay before you get your food. I also like it when a server comes back and check on you if the food is ok or you need something else. read more

My friend and I tried this place today. Ramen and Curry is it strong point. We got the katsu curry and let me tell you. THE best Japanese curry I have had and I've had a lot. The curry had a lot of flavor there was a slight sweetness to it and the spice was just right! The pork was cooked perfectly and the rice was excellent. I can't wait to try this place again. We ordered the dumplings as an appetizer and they were excellent. Service, was good they were busy. You order off your phone and paid for it at the same time. The waitress brought over a huge pitcher of ice water which was a nice touch. It's a small place can seat about 25 people they had a TV on that was showing Japanese animation show it's truly a no thrill place but the food does all the talking. I just wish the music was better or none at all. We will be back!!!! read more

I grew up eating ramen, but it wasn't popular until recently. I've wanted to come here for awhile now and made it in recently. Lots to choose from on the menu, including takoyaki (which is my favorite Japanese street snack), but I came in tonight specifically for ramen. I ordered the rich miso ramen. Very solid ramen and portion size pretty large, I couldn't finish all of it. Broth was tasty and everything else paired nicely. I'll definitely be back again sometime. You should try it out too! read more

My oldest grandson has been on a kick to try ramen so we have been trying places all over the valley and this time we headed to Origami Ramen Bar in Ahwatukee. Origami Ramen Bar is a super cute place, inside you are greeted with fun pops of color and anime and manga all over, something my grandson thought was cool. Ordering is a pretty cool experience. Each table has a code that you can use with your phone where you can place your order and pay online, but service is great and if you have questions or not tech savvy and not really into using your phone to order you can order at the register in front. After checking out the menu I went with spicy rich miso with chicken. It came with curly noodles, chicken, soft boiled egg, veggies and a rich creamy spicy miso broth, it was a tasty bowl of ramen. My grandson enjoyed his bowl of ramen as well. This was a cute ramen bar and happy to have added it our list of Ramen places in the valley. read more

Delicious ramen here at Origami Ramen! I tried their spicy ramen and it was creamy and delicious. Not to mention the plate presentation was 10/10 for the main dish and appetizer. The fire cracker dumplings 12/10! Definitely try this appetizer if you get the chance, you won't regret. The food overall was delicious and exactly what I was looking for in the cold weather. The service is quick and easy. They have a QR code you scan to view the menu and the. you also order on there to check out. The server was helpful with questions and kind.

Probably one of the better ramen joints in Phoenix. This restaurant is located in Ahwatukee on Ray Road and 48th, and parking is pretty plentiful as it's in a strip mall. When I arrived on Sunday for lunch, I was immediately seated, and the place was moderately busy. You order by scanning a QR code located at your table, and you browse + place your order from the online menu (you can also ask the server to obtain a physical menu if that's not possible). The interior is pretty cool and is decorated with stickers/plushies/wall art from a variety of anime series. I ordered the classic ramen and karaage and it came out pretty promptly. The broth was very rich and paired really well with the thin noodles. I thought the chashu was a bit too sweet, but it had a nice char and was tender. The soft boiled egg was ok, I personally like it a bit more jammy + marinated, but overall the ramen was pretty good! The karaage was crispy + juicy and was served with black vinegar, though I personally would have loved to see it served with a slice of lemon for acidity. I've tried a couple ramen places in the Valley to find a place that's comparable to joints in California. This restaurant is probably the closest I've found to good ramen. Would love to come here again if the craving ever hits. read more

This might be the best ramen joint in Phoenix. I've tried a handful of ramen joints in the valley and this one is my fav! I visited for the first time a couple weeks ago but it was my bf's second time. He said it was pretty good so I was excited to try it. The establishment is small. We arrived around 7pm and waited for about 15 min on a Saturday night. Once we sat down, there was constant traffic which was a good sign. To place your order, you scan the QR code on the table and select what you want on your phone. We both ordered the chicken karaage and 2 spicy ramens. The chicken karaage came out pipping hot. It was perfectly crispy, juicy, and tender. I liked dipping it with the spicy mayo sauce more than the soy sauce. The spicy ramen was really good! I liked the savory, thick chicken & pork broth. The spicy kick was great! The pork belly was thin and soft but could have been more tender. The egg was seasoned well. I had to take the rest of my ramen to go because our meal was so filling. We left VERY full. The noodles must have expanded in our stomachs. It still tasted great the next day. If you're craving ramen, I highly recommend checking this place out! read more
